In a candid interview on Monday with the German state-owned television network Deutsche Welle, World Bank President David Malpass renewed his criticism of China and private creditors for not doing enough to help ease the debt burdens of the world’s poorest countries and also for not being sufficiently transparent in their loan talks.
DEUTSCHE WELLE: “You also mentioned that despite being part of the G20, China has not participated in the [debt service suspension initiative] for the most part, they haven’t shown many signals, how hard is it going to be to get them involved?”
